WOYWW

 


I chuckled at how many folk said they were looking forward to seeing the cake last week.

Well here it is - Minecraft is Ben's favourite thing at the moment. I cheated and bought the toppers on line but nevertheless he was delighted with it. It was value for money because after his party with his best buddy the week before, I then re used the toppers for his own little cake/candles event on his actual birthday.

This week I made a little card for a friend's niece...


It's just a little fabric collage with some free machined detail and her name in free machining too.

It's been cold and wet this week but we did mange a lovely walk at Attingham Park on Monday. There were definite signs of Autumn - trees almost on the turn and lots of sweet chestnut and conkers.
It's a lovely spot for a walk.

Well that's it for this week.

Enjoy your week.

xx Jo

What a great cake! the card is pretty too. There are lots of conkers here too, there is a big tree at the end of the road down from me and most of them are squashed in the road.... Have a good week and happy WOYWW Helen #2

My boys would love that cake even now so I’m not surprised that Ben was over the moon, it’s great! The little card is so pretty, I love the lace skirt and free machining, you’re so clever. I’m loving the autumn weather at the moment, even the rain yesterday, My fav time of year.

Cake triumph again, honestly, Ben must think you’re the most accomplished grown up ever! Yep, the weather has definitely turned here too, am going to have to file the flip flops and get out the slippers, my feet are definitely suffering when I’m sitting still now! Love the way you explain the free machining and fabric collage as ‘just’…you so underestimate your skill.

Hi Jo, yes we crafters do remake reuse well and Ben’s cake looks spectacular. Whoever owns minecrafter is making kizillions.
Love free machining … that takes real skill well done… send some rain over here!
Thanks for Sharing, God bless and keep you safe, and all those you love, prayer hugs Shaz in Oz.x

Lovely cake and lovely card too. The latter would make a great keepsake put into a frame and I am sure she would enjoy seeing it on her bedroom wall.

What an awesome cake! Were the toppers edible, I wonder? And such an incredibly cute card. I like Autumn much more than I like summer! Great for walks indeed! Have a happy week, Jo! xx zsuzsa #21

Such a great cake Jo - my boys were all into Minecraft too and would have loved it too. Looking forward to trying to get to one of Maxine's workshops now she has started them up again but I work on Fridays so will have to try for a school holiday. Stay safe and happy WOYWW. Sarah #3

Love the cake, my grandson used to play minecraft a few years ago, personally I couldn't see the point of it, but then video games aren't my thing. Love the birthday card. Even here in Spain it is beginning to feel like autumn after a few days of heavy rain. Ani
